Try this strategy out, it’s my first post so I wanted to try to find something great, tell me what you think!
It uses a long and short strategy simultaneously.
All indictors have links if you are using TradeStation. It’s my first post so I can’t share them here aparently
Using the TWO AVERAGES OSCILLATOR, the output must be below -.00050 to allow trading with the long strategy and must be above .00050 to allow trading with the short strategy.
Also, if an order is open in one strategy, the other strategy should not interfere. If strategy Long has an open position, strategy Short should be restricted from trading until all long positions for that symbol have been closed. (This should at least be optional.)

In the picture, the dark circles are entry points and the white cirlces are where you should exit. If you are reluctant to use limit orders, you may gain more as you can see in the last two circles.
However, if you have noticed, the art here is having a predicted position before the actual cross, and the only way to prepare for the next trade is to take profit and rely on the system to signal continuance or reversal!!
